Re: Boot still broken from r349133-r349160 - Was re:(Problem with USB after r349133)

Sorry boot is broken from harddrive or iso(as cdrom) for some users(at
least 3) since somewhere in the revisions listed above and that still
stands as of the Head snapshot of 072519. Sorry for lack of clarity. There
was a thread under Problem with USB after r349133 but I decided to rename
it to try to catch more people's eyes/get more reports in if people run
into the issue. Don't think or at least know for sure USB is the problem as
when you bypass the waiting for USB you get a different hang farther into
system booting.

I will try to bisect the build in that magic revision range once I figure
out on what system as it's my primary builder that's having this issue. Not
that I have a lack of hardware I guess just time to setup something else.
